I use to run 2 250W 15000XM single end bulbs. They Has a nice crisp white and a good cool blue too. I liked them but I think the would of performed better on a Electronic Ballast. Lower the kelvins 10000k more of the yellow color.

I used to run XM 10K bulbs on electronic balasts. I have run them on magnetic ballasts too. They are extrememly bright and start out very white, but tend to lean a little to the yellow over time. They definitely do not lean toward the blue side of white in my experience.

So long as they gradually lean to yellow and start out white that is ok. I would be running 4 blue t5 bulbs to bring the colour temp up. If they were always pretty yellow I might have troubles achieving the look I'm after.
Did your 10ks look the same but brighter on magnetic? Was it m80? Thx

I have 10k xm moguls with my m80 ballasts and no supplemental actinics and I love the colour.... no trace of yellow at all. They are very, very bright

This is pretty accurate pic of the colour and the bulbs are just over a year old
